Overview

Skip the tourist trail and dive into Nara’s real nightlife in Shin-Omiya—where locals gather, laugh, and unwind over great food and drinks. This isn’t a generic pub crawl. It’s a guided walk into Nara’s most vibrant after-dark district, known to residents but often missed by visitors.

You’ll explore two carefully selected izakayas, each with its own atmosphere and specialties. Along the way, your guide will help you navigate menus, explain customs, and translate conversations, so you can relax and enjoy the evening like a local.

The tour includes ¥1,000 worth of food and drinks at each stop, making it a fun, filling, and budget-friendly night out—even if you come hungry.

Whether you're new to izakaya culture or just want to experience authentic Nara after dark, this tour gives you the flavor, comfort, and connection most travelers never find.

Activity itinerary

Shin-Ōmiya Station
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
For a true taste of Nara nightlife, head to Shin-Omiya—the city’s most vibrant dining and drinking district. Unlike the tourist-heavy areas around JR or Kintetsu Nara Stations, this neighborhood is where locals go to relax after dark. The atmosphere is friendly and casual, centered around cozy izakayas (Japanese pubs) where students and office workers gather over good food and drinks. It’s not wild—it’s welcoming. Located just one stop from Kintetsu Nara Station and walking distance from JR Nara Station, Shin-Omiya is easy to access. On this guided tour, you’ll visit two handpicked izakayas over two hours, spending about an hour at each. The tour includes ¥1,000 of food and drinks per stop, so you can enjoy the night with peace of mind. Shin-Omiya is where you’ll experience real Nara—local, flavorful, and unforgettable.
